Spring Is Near

Spring is a noble season
it's a time of show and tell
nature reveals its majesty
we can sense that all is well.

The trees are turning green again
there's a balmy fresh air breeze
the sounds of Spring can now be heard
from the songbirds in the trees.

There's the sparkle of a babbling brook
sunshine warms the air
the sky is a lovely sapphire-blue
there's beauty everywhere.

A Lilac scent enchants the breeze
with a smell like sweet perfume
our little furry friends appear
other flowers are in bloom.

When Winter's gone and Spring arrives
it's like a great rebirth
with all the lovely sights and sounds
it's like Heaven here on Earth.
